Comcast has built the largest Wi-Fi network in America with over 3 million WiFi hotspots. We plan to have 8 million by the end of this year. And we are very interested in going even further to deliver Gigabit Wi-Fi to the nation. To do so, we’ll need the additional spectrum allocation this legislation is calling for.

Republicans and Democrats, Senators and Representatives all agree: America needs more Wi-Fi spectrum. Beginning two years ago with the bi-partisan, bi-cameral success of the unlicensed spectrum provisions of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, Congress recognized the transformative power of unlicensed spectrum. Forward-looking Members from both sides of the aisle and both Houses of Congress have come together once again to provide a strong and clear path to unleash more unlicensed spectrum for innovative and efficient mobile broadband solutions.

Comcast has a strong commitment to our customers to provide the best Wi-Fi experience possible; we therefore applaud Reps. Latta, Eshoo, Issa, and Matsui for their leadership in this important area and we strongly support this pro-consumer legislation.
